NFL Europe
NFL Europe League players took the opportunity to impress their coaching staffs and a host of NFL team personnel during an intense day of action in training camp in the Tampa Bay area of Florida.
With NFLEL teams moving ever closer to the deadline for deciding which 48 players to take to Europe for the upcoming season and NFL scouts in town to keep an eye on their allocated players, there was no let-up in the play throughout the three-game condition scrimmages at the 31st Street Complex in St. Petersburg.
Berlin Thunder vs. Cologne Centurions
In a scrimmage in which defenses had the upper hand, Berlin passer Brett Engemann (Oakland Raiders) completed 4 of 5 passes for 27 yards and a touchdown. Running back Little John Flowers (New York Jets) rushed 10 times for 54 yards, including a 5-yard touchdown, and Cal Murray (San Diego Chargers) gained 20 yards on five carries. Fullback Brian Johnson (San Francisco 49ers) caught two passes, including a 2-yard touchdown.

Keylon Kincade (Dallas Cowboys) rushed for 26 yards on five attempts, while Carl Morris (San Diego Chargers) and James Newson (Miami Dolphins) each had two receptions.
From the quotebook:
"We were a little sluggish offensively, I think we were a bit out of synch, but defensively we played really well. We ran the ball pretty well, too, which is a good sign. This was the first real game-situation scrimmage, so considering we have only been together 10 days we did pretty well." -- Berlin quarterback Dave Ragone.
"This was a good practice for us. Obviously we need to get better at a lot of things on both offense and defense. We made some mistakes, and I think we had too many penalties on the whole, but this is often how you start out at training camp. The important thing is to work on our game and make sure we come out better the next time we step on the field." -- Centurions tight end Werner Hippler.
